About Amanda Lee
Amanda Lee Gladin-Kramer attended the University of North Carolina School of Law, where she completed her legal studies before beginning a career that spans both coasts. She has worked in courtrooms and client meetings alike, developing an approach that balances careful analysis with pragmatic problem solving. Colleagues describe her as steady in advocacy and methodical in preparation.
Licensed to practice in California and North Carolina, she has navigated two distinct legal systems during her career. That experience has required adapting to differing procedural rules, local practice customs, and client expectations. It has also meant managing matters that touch more than one jurisdiction and coordinating strategy across state lines.
Her path has included both courtroom work and counseling clients outside litigation. She takes time to explain options and likely outcomes so clients can make informed choices. She pays attention to the details that can change a case or a negotiation; those details often matter most when issues cross state boundaries or involve complex procedural timelines.
Gladin-Kramer joined Mercado Kramer LLP and is part of the firm’s roster of attorneys. At the firm she has worked on cases and transactions that draw on her dual-state experience. She collaborates with colleagues to align tactics and legal theory when matters have components in California and North Carolina. That collaborative approach helps keep strategy consistent from filing through resolution.
Outside of casework she has maintained ties to the legal community. She has stayed current on developments in appellate and trial practice and has participated in continuing education opportunities. Those activities support practical advice in client matters and help refine litigation and transactional technique.
In day-to-day practice she combines courtroom readiness with attention to client priorities. Her work often requires managing deadlines, briefing complex legal questions, and coordinating with local counsel across jurisdictions. As of 2026 she practices at Mercado Kramer LLP, where her work centers on legal matters arising under California and North Carolina law.
